Default Compact Fluorescent Lamps Burn Out Faster Than Expected, Limiting Energy Savings in California's Efficiency Program

I'm siding with other soothsayers predicting an LED revolution. The
latest issue of Digi-Key's "Tech Zone" trade journal is devoted to LED
lights. Colors are getting much better, the elusive triac dimming puzzle
has been solved, etc.


I'm just waiting for the price to drop a little more before I start
replacing our CFLs with LEDs. The CFLs saved us a pile of money on our
electric bill although I have been disappointed in how short a lifespan some
of them have--LED lighting will take care of that. Our neighbor who owns a
nightclub has gone with LED lighting including for stage lighting, it not
only saves him money on his power bill but the lights run a lot cooler so he
doesn't have to keep the air conditioning cranked all the time, saving more
money.
